Whittier Middle School celebrated its 100th Anniversary today with a party that not even the snow and cold could stop! The morning was filled with history lessons, student-led school tours, hot chocolate and cookies, and, most importantly, connecting with others who have felt the strong positive impact of Whittier over the last 100 years.
